Jefferson Community and Technical College student Trent Mullikin was presented Nov. 17 with a $2,000 “Tools for Tomorrow”scholarship from W.W. Grainger at the Carrollton campus. Only 150 scholarships are given each year by Grainger, and only two of those go to students in the Kentucky Community and Technical College System. Mullikin, a Trimble county resident, is in the engineering technology program at JCTC Carrollton. Upon graduation, Mullikin also will receive $1,000 worth of tools from Grainger to help him begin his career.

They are the ones, after all, that ultimately decide the direction the Commonwealth takes.

Winter weather in Kentucky tends to present challenges in the form of snow, ice and freezing temperatures.
What isn’t talked about, though, is the discomfort caused by weather inside the home. The itch that plagues many people during winter can be the result of inside air that does not contain adequate moisture.
Low humidity levels can cause high levels of discomfort including dry skin and stuffy sinuses.

Bedford Postmaster Denise Dewitt invites the public to an open house to honor Bob Webb, who is retiring as a mail carrier for the Bedford area after more than 30 years on the job.

High stress levels and a severe skin rash were conditions that prompted Max to come to me for a health consultation.
He had what could be defined as a “Bah, Humbug” personality. Max had chronic negative attitudes, which can cause biochemical changes leading to toxic conditions throughout the organs and glands. Chronic skin eruptions resulted as the toxicity flushed out his pores.
Overworked, his liver – the main toxicity-filtering system in the body – was suppressed.
